Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar (for streusel topping)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted (for streusel topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the melted butter and use a fork to combine until small crumbs form.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Chill the streusel topping for 5 minutes before sprinkling it over the muffins to prevent it from sinking.
